Joe Mennie shines as Redbacks bite Bulls

Career-best figures from Joe Mennie helped South Australia get their domestic one-day cup campaign back on track with an 83-run victory over Queensland in Brisbane on Sunday.

South Australia crashed to a seven-wicket defeat against the Cricket Australia XI on Wednesday - the development side's second win in three seasons - but rebounded in style thanks to both Mennie and a match-turning 115 not out from Tom Cooper.

The Redbacks recovered from a parlous 5-99 to post 8-240, as Cooper played a defiant lone-hand in a match in which only two batsman passed 25.

Mennie's nagging line and length at Allan Border Field paid rich dividends as Queensland's top-order all failed with the Bulls eventually dismissed for just 157 off 36.5 overs.

The fast-medium bowler was the Shield's leading wicket-taker in 2016, earning a single Test cap as a result, but he missed much of last season after suffering a nasty blow on the head while batting.

"The way he bowled was outstanding," Cooper said of Mennie.

"It was overcast all day but the pitch I thought was pretty good and I thought we were pretty short of par at halfway, so it was an all-round very good bowling performance.

"It was a very important win because obviously things didn't go to plan the other day, so to get one the board here gets us right back in the competition."
